A big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our recent Family Fishing Day. We had a great time and we’re all very grateful for you participation

Trout Unlimited’s NATIONAL meeting is coming to Pennsylvania for 2015. Mark your calendar for September 16-20, and plan to be in Scranton to experience TU at the national level. For more information, click here.

We would like to hear from you! Use our handy feedback form for your questions, ideas or comments. We also hope you’ll stop by a monthly meeting sometime to see what we’re all about. Non-members are welcome as well. The meetings are casual and always generate plenty of lively discussion. Our other activities are fun, rewarding and a great way to give something back the creek and it’s trout.

Important! - As you visit the creek this season, please make sure your vehicle is not blocking access to a farm field. It is very troubling to landowners when they can’t get their tractors and equipment into their fields. If you see anyone else’s vehicle blocking a field, you may want to (politely) suggest that they move. Our access to the stream depends on this kind of courtesy - please be mindful of where you park.

Didymo! This destructive species of algae is right on our doorstep in Maryland’s Gunpowder River and Big Hunting Creek. Unfortunately it can easily be spread by anglers! We have installed 4 wader wash stations on the Codorus for use by visitors as a last line of defense. They are located near parking areas from the Brown Road bridge up to the sawmill. Other stations will be added soon. Learn more about dymosphenia geminate (also known as ‘rock snot’) and the preventive measures you must take from this is informative fact sheet (.pdf format). You can also find lots of information by simply typing ‘didymo’ into your favorite search engine

Notice: The stream section upstream of the bridges behind the Porters Sideling Fire Hall is still posted. For now, please find another section to fish, and be sure to check back later for further details.

The Jefferson/Codorus sewage treatment plant is now in service. Now that it’s online, the plant may impact the water quality and living creatures in the creek, especially if an accident occurs. As the housing market rebounds, extensive residential development could also take place around the plant, adding the threat of adverse stormwater runoff. Click here to learn more, and see what you can do to report any problems.

A word on stream etiquette! As you enjoy the Codorus this season, please be aware of where others are fishing and which direction they’re moving in. Plan your entry accordingly and give your fellow anglers a polite distance to fish.

Please respect the rights of landowners when you visit the stream - stay out of plowed fields - remain in the stream corridor, and obey no trespassing signs. When you park, make sure you're not blocking access to fields. Most of all, just use common sense and courtesy - be a thoughtful and appreciative guest. Read more here
